The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) on Monday (November 3) raised Signal No. 4 over Dinagat Islands, Siargao, and Bucas Grande Islands as Typhoon Tino moved closer to the Caraga-Eastern Visayas area. As of 1pm (Philippine time), Tino was located 235 km east southeast of Guiuan, Eastern Samar, packing maximum sustained winds of 120 km/h and gusts of up to 150 km/h. The typhoon was moving westward at 25 km/h and may make landfall late Monday or early Tuesday over southern Eastern Samar, Leyte, Southern Leyte, or Dinagat Islands, potentially at peak intensity of 150–165 km/h. PAGASA warned that further intensification into a super typhoon was possible as Tino traverses the Visayas region before crossing northern Palawan early on Wednesday. Widespread heavy rainfall is expected across Samar, Leyte, Cebu, Negros, Guimaras, and Panay through Wednesday noon, with the possibility of serious flooding and landslides. PAGASA also warned of storm surges up to three meters along the southern coasts of Eastern Samar, Samar, Leyte, Dinagat Islands, Siargao, and Bucas Grande. Meanwhile, in Manila, light to moderate rains fell Monday afternoon. City DRRMO Meteorologist Emerson Gilmore Austria reported that flooding in some areas, including Taft Avenue, was “ankle-deep and gradually subsiding.” Austria added that authorities remain on high alert. PAGASA urged the public to monitor official advisories and prepare emergency kits. “Residents in high-risk areas should be ready to evacuate if needed,” it said. Tino is forecast to exit the Philippine Area of Responsibility by Thursday morning.
